Sentences [1 each = 25 points]

Define the bold-faced word in each sentence.

o HINT: the sentences use the stems (from the list) in the order in which they appear on the list. o Write:

! the sentence number ! the word to define ! the definition of the stems used in the bold-faced words that you know & those that you can

look up in the glossary in the back of the book.

o Try to come up with a definition for the bold-faced word that "fits and makes sense" with the context of the sentence. ! Try it without a dictionary first (using the W3s). ! You can use the stem glossary in the back of the W3 book, but if the decoded definition does

not make sense then look up the bold-faced words. ! Indicate that you looked up the word by putting "d=" and then the definition from the

dictionary that fits the context

o Make sure that the "definition" fits the sentence instead of just copying or pasting from dictionary or ".".

example 1: example 2:

1. antedates =

ante (before) dates (period of time), comes before

2. specious =

spec (look) ous (full of), full of look?

dictionary = pleasing to the eye, but deceptive

Ideas

this decoded definition does not make sense in the sentence so look up the definition, but leave the definition you created [do not erase...I need to see your work]

Analogies

complete any five of the ten [1 each = 5 points]

These can be very difficult. Take your time and follow these instructions:

1) List the number of the analogy being completed.

2) List the analogy.

3) Define both words in the analogy.

4) Figure out their relationship (synonyms, antonyms, etc.).

5) Choose the pair that has the same relationship.

Analogy Example :

1. Scorching : Freezing :: _______ : ________ (read "scorching is to freezing as blank is to blank.")

Milk : Cow

Tooth : Dentist Computer : Printer Love : Hate

Analogy Example Answer 1. Scorching : Freezing

hot : cold opposites

? The definitions of the two words are basically Hot : Cold.

love : hate

? The relationship is that they are opposites. So we need to identify the opposites in our choices.

? You should know or figure out the definitions of the words that are the possible choices...milk comes from a

cow, a tooth is what a dentist works with/specialty, a computer sends information to a printer, love and hate

are feelings

? Love and Hate are the only opposites in the choices.

Notes
